Yes, but he asked if you liked it, not if you used it (Althouh, one could conclude that since you use it, then you must like it), so I think he's off the hook.

I have 3 windows systems, and 2 linux systems, each has their use, and each works great for *me*. I would never try to push my tastes onto someone else though, that's what keeps us unique.


Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly. It just happens to be very selective about who it decides to make friends with. -- unknown

It's a Mac OS, which I've not used (or not enough so's it would count). I couldn't stand it. And the iTunes-ish file browser first cracked me up, then pissed me off. But really, my opinion values little for OS X.

Right....

And you are currently making this post sitting on an MS-DOS system. Great!

No, I have been forced to use Windows, because the Internet is no longer compatible with DOS computers.

But I have multiple computers. I do my research on the DOS computer, because the timesharing and multitasking prevents it from working on Windows computers.

I would like Windows a lot better if Microsoft didn't keep CHANGING it.

In my opinion, operating systems should never change. Every time a software platform changes, research scientists have to do a whole series of tests to make sure the changes don't change the results of the research. Microsoft has made long term research projects very difficult with its periodic changes.

wasn't there a lynx version for DOS? I remember being able to browse under DOS 6.2, mostly BBS browsing though (with Volkov commander, or something similar)

but http was possible back then as well
